local vendors and artisans
Local vendors and artisans are small-scale producers and sellers within a community. Vendors typically distribute goods directly to customers, such as market stall operators or shop owners. Artisans are skilled craftspersons who create handmade items like jewelry, pottery, or textiles, often reflecting local culture and tradition. Supporting them helps boost the local economy, promotes unique products, and fosters community connections. Unlike large corporations, these individuals often emphasize quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, making their offerings distinctive and valuable.
